lyrics

Opening my eyes again This morning I wake with dreams in my head I’m hollowed out by the Sadness My head is all messed up just thinking about it all Trying to pull myself back up The hope is crumbling – I can’t open up Can’t run from the blue face in the mirror “You have to try – you have to care – for me” Soaring with my head in the clouds But that sinking feeling is pulling me down… We can’t use that moment’s death As an excuse for letting it rest A sea of tears, they well in my eyes A mountain of sorrow – how I would take flight! O’er the hills and far away My imagination heads off each day I’d turn another page in my life… The moment says, “We must talk – it’s time” Trudging through the mire Just to be pulled into line As different as horses to unicorns I can feel his disappointment “My faith in me is fading away!” I was the boy – but now nothing I moved a mountain in front of ‘we’ Although I tried to run away I feel I’m falling back each day Return the boy

I feel lost and ever small Not that it matters much at all I’ve been inside my shell so long What is it am I hiding from? Please… bless you… Once more goodbye I’ll miss your eye You changed my life These hands of mine they look so strong I couldn’t hold you there for long Those eyes, they challenge me to dare I failed, I lost, I am despair Please… tell me… Once more goodbye I’ll miss your eye You changed my life

Go long for the ball, son Sit down – see the Cubs won Crack tube, have a cold one Sink further into bedlam Got no time for the Book, mon For I trudge through the day some From the dawning till the dying sun I fall open like the victim The Devil’s Son is a Human now Install a sky and a five point one There’s no limit – I imagine none Fill my day, to the brink it runs Crash through the clutches of discipline Walk the dog then the chores are done Pull me out – for it weighs a ton! The Wolf he leaps at his new victim I almost died for the mess I own The Devil’s Son is a Rocketship now Creep away from the world I’m on Sniff the rock and declare I’m done I know the Wolf and his words are one The thunder on the horizon I’d rather die like the race I won Come for me Wolf – your days are done! There’s more than one – he’s in everyone Why break the rock! I declare I’m done! The Devil’s Son is in everyone now

The gentle push reciprocate Searching through fragments of supposed nothing We can’t just wait around for it Edging ever closer to a tall tower desired Let the promise of it guide you Racing further – speed is danger Find the Tower, find the haven You have found the home, at last I am ever searching valleys imagined Clouds form upon the horizon There’s no more that’s left to be found Find the Tower – there’s no more else Drawing closer to the target Life is drawn into a tempest All will change All will change…

I – I’m delighted by the knowledge My recollection is correct And I – although it is I who failed you There’s redemption in it yet She – she is speaking ever softly Could her words be ever bad? And she knew it all from the beginning My eyes were closed to that… I can feel you against me Can feel you giving me A feeling that makes me Want feeling next to me I – I’ve just had a ghastly feeling Am I riding to my doom? And I – I’m unsure of how to save us But I must go and save us soon She – softly spoken arrow sending Did I survive another sweet? And she is not to blame for being an angel… I can feel you against me Can feel you giving me A feeling that makes me Want feeling next to me

lyrics

My words are poison in the air I walk towards the gate of them I’m off to close an opened door Oh – that I’d not opened it before It’s not a place for love to move Why did I send for all this proof? What must I do to have it die? …And keep it sweet…? To know all that has been I know we have agreed I walked into the week Aware of every dream Why can’t I have all that I’ve dreamed? I must believe that God has seen Forgive the death of what we’ve been… …Just call my name…! To save all that must be I beg that we agree The end – end of the week I have done what I dreamed…

about

One night I invited a group of friends around to watch "The Wizard of Oz" whilst listening to Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon". The next day I woke thinking I could write an album that linked to a movie - surely it couldn't be that hard! I poured through my family's small video collection and settled on "The Never Ending Story" because it was relatively short and also was an awesome movie. I then watched it and timed all the events that happened throughout.

Just nine days later, using some old songs of mine that had never developed fully and an excel spreadsheet with timings on it, I had written eight songs that would theoretically loop around exactly three times throughout the movie, with events from the film linking to the album. The lyrics are a mix between movie plotlines, faith musings and how I interacted with the world at that point in time. I set to recording my first full solo project with the help of Bobby Logan (as always!) on drums and brought in the talented Matt Henderson on keyboards and pianos.

This then is that album for you! Enjoy.
